Sorry I'm not using the latest version of MAME, I never did have much luck compiling other people's programs!

First I thought it might be to do with how I don't zip my ROM files, so I made a roms/neogeo.zip with the relevant files, but it still didn't work, so I don't think that's part of the issue.

This is the only version of MAME I have to test with, but I'm happy to try out anything to see what works and what doesn't.

Current baseline MAME works fine.
I'm going to guess it is because your neogeo.zip isn't updated.. every once in a while a new bios version or universal bios added
What happens if you just try to run "mame neogeo" from command line? Do you get any incorrect crc matches or anything else showing?

Latest official x64 version works fine on 7 x64. Maybe it's problem with only MacOS version?

I managed to get MAME v0.163 64-bit from http://sdlmame.lngn.net and it has the same problem as before. It might be OS X specific, but it's even in the latest version.

Confirmed on SDLMAME64 0.163 running on Linux/x64.

It looks like it may be SDL-specific.

FYI, this is kind of by design.

When I added the 'bios' functionality, I made it possible to load a game so long as you had the minimum roms to launch it in a given configuration (i.e. the bios you specified was available + the game roms). This was to address a concern from Nicola that users might feel they had to track down all roms even if their hardware didn't have said revision.

However, when the internal menu was added by Aaron, it didn't take this into account, and only showed games as available if all roms were present. It never bothered me enough to change, and I consider that it's a cool secret feature that you can launch incomplete sets from the command-line...

If this differential in functionality is known and intended behavior, then an issue doesn't exist to keep this status in Confirmed state.
